L’etica dei percorsi diagnostico-riabilitativi della madre assassina
2013
L'infanticidio è un delitto che provoca come pochi altri riprovazione e allarme sociale, con forte eco mediatico; l'opinione pubblica è messa di fronte al fatto che l'istinto materno “non è innato” (Pannitteri, 2006)1 e che le funzioni materne non sono sempre protettive.

Associations between the Rorschach Ego Impairment Index and Measures on Intrapsychic and Interpersonal Functioning
2018
The Rorschach Ego Impairment Index-2 (EII-2) has shown considerable validity as a measure of personality disturbance.

This study examined the strength of associations between the EII-2 and its subcomponents with measures of psychological suitability for psychotherapy, personality functioning, and interpersonal problems. A total of 315 outpatients with mood or anxiety disorders were assessed with the Rorschach Comprehensive System (RCS), comprising the EII-2, the Suitability for Psychotherapy Scale (SPS), the I…
